While the watch itself is fine in most regards, one thing I can't get past is the horrid battery life.
If you use the smartwatch as it's intended, the battery life lasts only a few hours. If you put the watch on bare bones power mode (as in 90% of the apps/watch uses are disabled) then you get a day out of the battery. And if you do that, then it completely negates the purpose of having a smartwatch.
I even have the watch a couple of weeks to kind of sync itself because a lot of people said that the watch needs time to update itself when you first get it, and that drains the battery quickly. But even 2 weeks later the watch still lasts barely a day.
I hope Samsung fixes this. I'd return it for a refund, but I already threw away my old smartwatch.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use it for sport and my work Also for call when I'm working
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has seamless actions across apps and devices. Easy to use and stylish. Comfortable and intuitive.
I ordered the Watch 7 because I cant seem to find replacement bands for my watch 3. I saw this watch and was ready to change. Found some beautiful watch bands to spice it up. The first day I didn't use it just completely charged it.Set it up to my phone and powered it back off. NEXT day I used it and by the end of the day with only text message notifications coming through it was in need of a charge. I haven't used my Watch 3 and its still charged. I unfortunately just cant find a band
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works well with Samsung phone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The seamless actions across apps and the compatibility with a Samsung phone make this a great watch companion for all my devices. I can always find my watch or phone if I have one or the other with find my device. I'm so glad it's offered in two sizes because I have a smaller wrist and the 40mm fit me just right.
I receive all the notifications I need to control my smart home and stay in touch with friends and family. Being able to use Samsung pay with it when my hands are full is a plus. The customization and personalization is fantastic and I feel like I can make this watch my own.
I wish it had a longer battery life but it makes it through the night and day with an hour charge before bed. I can monitor my sleep and my activity throughout the day and get results on my watch or phone.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What i love about the samsung watch 7 is faster and better then my old model the galaxy watch 4 that I had. I love the fact that it has voice call and messaging capability and it can be standalone phone. I love the fact you can change the bands to different colors and designs.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very nice and cool watch. I do wish it had a rotating bezel, but it's very nice and very snappy compared to other older models. I got this as a gift for someone else but got to use it a bit when helping them set it up, and it was very nice to use. Very responsive and I've been since told it's durable and has good battery. It allows for seamless actions across apps when you have a Samsung phone too, which gives you access to more options on your wrist.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With seamless action across apps with my galaxy device, I'm blown away. Whatsapp and work profile calendar are my mostly used items. I was hesitant till now with any smart watch due to its battery life. I can't keep charging my watch and my phone on repeat. The new watch lasts me 2-3 days which saves me from charging anxiety.
Now brief during driving and meetings are so useful. I'm still getting used to the sleep data but it was a additional thing for me from start.
